The difference between anydesk-bin and anydesk-debian is that the latter uses a custom version of pango because the most recent one seems to cause issues for some people, see the package comments. At the time of accepting PRQ#18092, I thought that the binary from the Debian package was built differently than the one provided by the .tar.gz file, but that is actually not the case apparently, so "anydesk-debian" might not be the most fitting name. Since upstream is closed source, the package anydesk-bin using system pango could now be renamed to "anydesk". Best, Jonas
